Alternative Doctor Who Season 34

Someone from another place sent me the following link:
Doctor Who Season Four

I haven't read any of the stories yet but it is an alternative version of season 34 as currently seen on Australian ABC1.

Prologue:
The prologue has been very good in dealing with the immediate aftermath of Last of the Time Lords and decision of Martha to stay home and not to travel with the Doctor anymore.

34 x 1 - Bliss:
The Doctor takes the Master to New New York in the far future.
Very good and very sad as it was a reminder of the Doctor's feelings with his loneliness.
Very tense in places but very well done.

34 x 2 - The Illusive Ms Ingram:
The TV series has Doctor-lite episodes in which the Doctor makes a very limited appearance.
The Illusive Ms Ingram is a completely Doctor-less episode like the 1965 episode Mission to the Unknown.
With no Doctor here, Martha meets up with Jack and his Torchwood team hence this is really a Torchwood episode disguised as a Doctor Who one. Incidentally on TV Martha does meet up with Torchwood in Reset.
Despite the title, Ms Ingram does not appear in this episode and has little to do with it.
It is about Martha meeting the Torchwood team in the immediate aftermath of Last of the Time Lords.
The way the episode has been presented is very emotional and very well done.

34 x 3 - The Quantum Room:
The Quantum Room of the title leads to the Doctor and Master reliving memories from their recent TV adventures.
The story presents the emotional impact of the choices the Doctor and the Master has made.
The delivery of the emotional impace was done superbly.

34 x 4 - The Holy Room:
The Doctor and Master visits the court of Louis VII and Queen Eleonor of France.
An interesting historical story with an interesting revelation about Louis VII.

34 x 5 - Space Hopper:
Jack and Martha calls on the Doctor as the rest of the Torchwood team accidentally activated the Vortex Manipulator sending them into the future.
Quite fun this story of the rest of the Torchwood team travelling into the future which something that is not yet done on TV in either Doctor Who or Torchwood.
Wonder who the mysterious woman is who helped the Torchwood team in activating the Vortex Manipulator.

34 x 6 - Monster Hospital:
Another Doctorless story in this series.
Jack sends Martha to investigate a hospital in which one of the donors is the mysterious Ms Ingram.
Things become really bizarre when Martha talked to a boy who remember events from The Year That Never Was even though he was not on the Valiant at that time.
The mystery continues.

34 x 7 - Asterion:
The Doctor and the Master comes to the planet Asterion where the Master plays a trick on him.
Amazing after the trick he played the Doctor is forgiving of the Master.
This was written way before the screening of the real 34 x 7 The Unicorn and The Wasp yet coincidentally they both has the Doctor remarking about going onwards.
